Daniel Radcliffe told to tidy up

The 21-year-old actor is hapless around the home so Rosie Coker - who he has been dating for two years - has given him a deadline to improve his domestic skills.

He said: "She says I have a deadline of two yearsto be a fully-functioning human being around the house.

"I think it means I have to be able to cook for myself better than I can at the moment and it means I can't leave the house in a state the way I do.

"I didn't promise her anything, but I have made it my mission to improve myself. There's certainly progress to be made."

Daniel is currently living in New York, and his production assistant girlfriend flew out to see him last weekend - so he got his mother to clean his apartment in preparation for her arrival.

The actor - who has been starring in a Broadway production of 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' - admitted in an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper: "My mum's here and she came round and tidied everything up for me."

While the 'Harry Potter' star and his girlfriend don't get to spend a lot of time together because of their work commitments, they are determined to make a success of their relationship.

Daniel said: "She's busy, I'm busy but we're making it work and it's good. She's helped me grow up and I love her very much.

"When you find somebody as cool and as tolerant as my girlfriend then the clear policy is to cling on to them for dear life."
